Indirect — not revenue

Balance-sheet signals

Year-on-year changes in filed balance-sheet items. They can hint at momentum (or investment) but are not revenue or profit and must not be read as such.

Net assets: ▲8%; Now £4.8m
Cash at bank: ▲0%; Now £2.2m
Headcount: ▼2%; Now 44
Deferred income: ▲1%; Now £620k
Fixed assets: ▲40184%; Now £524k

Deferred income is reported together with accruals in this filing (“accruals and deferred income”), so it is an approximate signal only.
